Tips & Advice

  • Stay into the evening so you can catch the nightly Parkwide Holiday Lighting Moment as the whole park lights up.
  • Head to the streets of Calico for one-of-a-kind gifts at the Christmas Crafts Village, then catch the Snow and Glow there.
  • Use the Six Flags app inside the park to check showtimes for Home for the Holidays and the Peanuts ice show.
  • Try the seasonal dishes, like the Meatball Hoagie with Cranberry Gastrique and Mash Potatoes, because they are only offered during the holidays.
